Looking at the absentee vote map it's not that surprising that northern Portugal abstained more. CDU losing and booting Heloísa Apolónia is a poor result but she seemed to be thrown under the bus.

Well it didn't take too long for IL to be sold as the "Right Wing Bloco" and also for it to be sold as the good cop of the duo with Chega being the bad cop.

spankmeister posted:The communists are right imo, TV is making people dumb The internet certainly is, something we all knew ages ago or we wouldn't be posting in this dead gay forum. This was a bad election with some silver linings. The left got over 50% of the votes and that seems here to stay, if ps doesn't completely poo poo the bed in the next four years. Be slightly increased their votes, buti think they kinda plateaued. Livre has finally made it in, they are intelectual Lefties that are kinda ineffectual but are good on the debate stage and should be a counterweight to IL. Despite abstention going up in total percentage points, more people actually went out and voted than last time.we need to review and update the electoral books.the census in 2020 should help.a couple of good measures were introduced like automatic voter registration and expanded early voting.we should continue to do more of that. Santana Lopes might be dead again politically, but the dude has more lives than a ancient cursed mummy cat. The bad news: PCP took a clobbering.they are in a kinda crossroads, their leadership is old, and despite the rank and file being active and engaged, they really dropped the ball on the whole green movement, despite having the nominal representative of the green party in their list. Jeronimo is a cool dude, the old guard are really millitant and can get a picket line of 300 going in just a couple of hours, but they need fresh new blood to be the face of the party. I like Duarte Alves, but the dude is still green as gently caress. Pan completely took their lunch in this front, despite being a thoroughly bourgeois party whose big eco policies is finning people who throw cigarette butts into the street, and a new tax on plastic bags.revolutionary this ain't. Chega managed to get one guy elected, and that's one too many.they're the "gently caress the gipsies and migrants, let's start the death penalty" guys. The fact that they got most of their voters from poorer areas should be a massive warning bell about the possibility of a right wing populist movement showing up. IL are worse, because they are the ideological libertarians with deep pockets, are very right wing populist, and they will just straight lie to your face and they don't give a poo poo.they are also climate change deniers (as in, sure climate change is happening but it's not man made and dealing with it presents wonderful new business opportunities). They should be put down as fast as possible.the increased scrutiny might help with that, but they have very deep pockets and a really agile and good social media presence, besides having a couple of newspapers on their corner. CDS absolutely cratered, this would be usually good news, but that means they are ripe for the taking from either IL or chega.despite all it's faults, CDS is a national party, with the respective infrastructure and conections.if they get coopted things will get lovely.on the other hand, this might be the fastest path for Santana to return so...

Chega got a major push in Loures which is basically copland and kind of a nazi breeding ground.

Heh, those Portugese results sound great to someone from where the left is tiny and fragmented, and "centrists", conservatives and right wing nationalists get most of the vote, which describes almost everywhere in Europe except Portugal.

Yeah and we're trying to keep it that way. 20 years ago the extent of political activity for the Nazis and chuds was them showing up and getting kicked in the dick, repeatedly. Now the leader of the Nazi party was a guest in morning shows, and a openly fascist gently caress gets elected to parliament, while the cops are (more)full of them. It's time to put the boot in.

Hey now, the appearance on the morning show outright killed the career of the host and killed off a bunch of the investment of the broadcaster that hosted said talk show. Which means Correio da Manha (think Daily Mail/The Sun) is attempting to purchase the channel to make it more liberty minded. And by that, I mean firing the commentator that once in a while wakes up and goes "I should probably a few words as to why there's a migrant caravan from Not-Venezuela" or "Ok can you for once talk about Yemen for a bit". Hell I'm surprised that Tvi isn't the one with the daily cop power hour show at this point. Kunster has issued a correction as of 17:45 on Oct 7, 2019 |

I do not stand with the farmers. Also both Geert and Baudet should be shot out of a canon into the sun. Thanks for listening. E: Also the farmers seem really surprised not everyone is on their side. They seem to think 90% of the population are pulling for them so when they get flipped off it's a lol.

Yeah the sheep is a normal thing there, for many years they've had city flocks that they use to trim the grass in the parks, and they just walk through the city with them to get them from place to place. Pretty cool.

Sheep are better than police horses, their poop is easy to sweep up and their fleece has oils that preserve metals.

Pretty cool. That's cool. Once I managed to talk my way into the schatkamer of Leeuwarden and they had some fancy metal collars there that used to belong to swans and herons that used to live in the city in the middle ages. The herons would clean up after the fish market, and the swans would clean the canals, and the collars had the seal of the city on them to indicate that the birds belonged to the city and could not be hunted. Pretty neat. IIRC some markets still have pet herons

Barcelona is somewhat of a banking and tech hub state ala California, hosting both Spanish Amazon hubs and several major research facilities. It's where last year's Black Friday Amazon Strike was organized, along with the German hub. And why there was an exchange between Amazon and the Barcelona police to ask them to crack their skull, if I recall.
